What Restolike Gmbh does

Restolike GmbH is a privately held catering and event company founded on May 1, 2021, by Remo Knörr, Moritz Locher, and Fabian Schärer, headquartered in Hindelbank in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The company provides full-service catering for corporate events, weddings, private celebrations, and festivals, alongside a portfolio of signature owned event formats including Music&Dine, Kultur&Dine, Gourmet-Brunch, Raclette evenings, the Berner Gourmet Gala, the seasonal Kupfergabel pop-up restaurant at Langnau Jazz Nights, and the Bistro Soleure gourmet dining experience operated in partnership with RBS aboard the historic Pendler-Pintli train. The core differentiator is an exclusive catering partnership with the Berner Münster cathedral, granting access to a 52-meter-high vaulted hall unavailable to competitors, where premium ticketed dining experiences (CHF 205-270 per person) consistently sell out.

The business is anchored in regional, sustainable sourcing from a curated network of 20+ local suppliers and producers (Chäs-Chäuer, Mille Vins, Ueli der Beck, Hofer Metzg, Jumi, Swiss Alpine Fish, Oona Caviar, Brauerei Felsenau, etc.). Revenue is generated across four streams: catering services (custom quotes for corporate/private events), event ticket sales (via shop.e-guma.ch), retail product sales (Apéroboxen, Kräutersalz, Kräuterpaste, gift vouchers), and festival food stands/pop-up restaurants at major Swiss festivals (Gurtenfestival, Lakelive, Seaside, Openair St. Gallen). In March 2022 the company expanded into permanent physical operations by taking over the Raiffeisen Stadt-Café in Burgdorf.

The company operates a lean team of approximately 13 people across kitchen, service, patisserie, and administration, supported by cooking and service apprentices from vocational schools gibb Bern and BZI Interlaken. The technology stack is conventional: a WordPress-based website, the e-guma ticketing and shop platform, the Gschmacksach podcast (Spotify/Apple Podcasts), and standard social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn). A frozen food subscription service, restolike@home, is in development with a customer survey launched April 2025 to validate demand before full rollout. Initial funding was a CHF 13,000+ crowdfunding campaign via Funders in 2021; no institutional capital has been raised.
